Consumer Description

I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE SEAT BELTS ON MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES. I HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE "AUTOMATIC" SHOULDER HARNESSES BUT WAS ALWAYS WARY OF THEIR RELIABILITY. NOW THAT A FAILURE HAS OCURRED ON MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THEM, MY SUSPICIONS SEEM TO BE CONFIRMED. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM IS THAT IT IS PROBABLY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND MOST CONSUMERS WILL NOT SPEND THE MONEY ON A REPAIR AND JUST STOP USING IT. IF A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO PROTECT ME FAILS AT ALL HOW CAN I HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL PROTECT ME IF , GOD FORBID, IT HAS TO BE CALLED UPON TO DO SO.*AK
